Southwold Recommendations ?

[McNasty]

Can't stand the end of season tension so I am escaping with the wife to Southwold for the weekend next Friday.

Anyone recommend eateries, pubs, massage parlours, chip shops or any entertainment ?

Cheers.

Only ever been there once dropping off a motor. Dark and closed by the look of it and that was mid week. Better take sandwiches.

I think Pickled Seal visits the area often, drop him a message.

Fantastic place to just wander around, got a really nice feel about it.

Good fleece as the wind off the sea can be brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Really good pub there called the Admiral Lord Nelson (I think). Nice food and great beer as long as you like Adnams.

Avoid the chip shop on the pier.

The amusement arcade on the pier however is utterly bizarre and well worth a visit. It has strange machines like dog simulators.

The pub next too the brewery is excellent but a bit pricey.
Be warned though they will think your a very very young man in Southwold though.
Enjoy Soutwold.

the staue /art work clock on the pier which drops his trousers on the hour is not to be missed.

Drove through Southwold once. Pensioners paradise by the looks of it. Cannot believe how much the beach huts go for!

Just remebered. The putting course just has a tin for change and you put notes in a box on the wall. No one was there. It's that sort of place. Enjoy

We hired a house in Walberswick at Xmas. Its a 10 min car journey, or better a 40 mins cross country walk from Southwold thru the golf course. The pub there is highly reviewed http://www.anchoratwalberswick.com/

dont go for a walk on the beach if there is a big storm when you are away

Love the place. Good mix of pubs... Bell Inn at Walberswick is nice after a good walk. Nelson is proper olde pub but gets v busy. Red Lion and Sle Bay Inn are both good too. Would highly recommend both the brewery and distillery tours. It's not cheap anywhere I'm afraid. I got engaged there so very fond memories!

Beware if driving. The old crusties have their own system as they appear to have had their indicators de-activated.
